I dedicated countless hours to perfecting my archery skills. Despite seeing improvement with each practice session, I couldn't shake the feeling that I still fell short of Sophia's expertise.
The next day would bring our confrontation—a contest to determine the future Luna. So, even as night fell, I continued my relentless training.
Out of nowhere, Sophia appeared, her face unconcealed and wearing her signature smug expression.
"Still practicing, Luna Evelyn?" She jeered, her words laced with derision. "Isn't this a futile effort? You might as well get some rest—defeat is inevitable."
Without warning, she grabbed my bow and arrow, effortlessly firing a shot that struck the center of the target.
I tensed momentarily, caught off guard, but quickly regained my composure.
"Did you catch that?" She gloated.
